This tangy, sweet salad is always a hit with guests. For a party, you can serve the salad in the watermelon rind itself, and give diners tiny forks or toothpicks so they can help themselves, bite by juicy bite. Accompany with margaritas or cold beer, if you like.

Directions:

Place the watermelon slice on a cutting board and cut around the outside to remove the green skin and white flesh. Cut the red flesh lengthwise and then crosswise, forming 1-inch cubes. Carefully slide the watermelon onto a platter, taking care to keep the shape of the slice intact.

Sprinkle with the olives, feta cubes and basil leaves, then drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
